Norm,
I wouldn't say it is a Smuts number, because the same register still applies in South Africa.
General Smuts was the man who commanded the Boers to make war against the Germans in South West Africa on behalf of England. This order marked the beginning of a Rebellion in South Africa because people where divided about loyalty towards the Queen. They just came out of a war against England where many lost their lives and women and children were killed in the so called concentration camps.
My history knowledge is a bit rusty so I hope I got this right!
